Bodybuilders: All about the size

Fitness workout: All about strength

Training
Bodybuilders rarely indulge in cardiovascular exercises or reps with a low amount of weights, placing special emphasis on gaining mass. They tend to regularly push their bodies to the breaking point; that is the point where they literally cannot do another rep-round. During recovery time, the ‘failed’ muscles rebuild and become stronger.

hello; it's a nice comparison that you did between bodybuilders and physique models, but i want to add something real that everyone should know:every bodybuilder can be a physique model but not every physique model can be a bodybuilder, it is very difficult to attain that level of muscularity and definition at the same time, even if the two categories are using a huge amount of drugs and growth factors but they can't grow likewise.conclusion:physique models are genetically limited, unlike bodybuilders they are gifted.
